A better title might be: Basics of Personal Finance

I did not find this book helpful at all with regards to the financial considerations of moving and living abroad.

I couldn't have been more disappointed by this book. It was 95% basic finance topics and 5% dealing with finances for living abroad. And the 5% was so basic that it was barely worthwhile. Not only was the book mistitled for it's content, but the style was condescending and repetitive. It's the first time that I'll be returning a book to Amazon.com

For those of you who live abroad but often times find yourselves too busy to pay close enough attention to your finances, this compact book is for you. I've lived overseas for over 15 years, and Ms. Frew's book helped me better grasp not only the basics I needed to better understand my investments, but also more advanced taxation and retirement issues. I found the worksheets particularly useful. Bottom line is that if you live abroad and don't have time to take a seminar in personal finance, you'll find this book to be a great primer, and a useful resource.

comprehensive, user friendly, stuctured great tool to passing the exam, i reccomend it

Using only this book and the companion volume of practice tests, I was able to pass the Series 3 with ease. The book recommends planning for 40 hours total study time, which I found to be about right. The 2 Passtrak books for the Series 3 were the most cost effective guides I could find and I recommend them to anyone preparing for the exam.

We are a commodities brokerage firm, liverpoolgroup.com, that trains in house brokers, sponsors brokers for the field, and now other company's trainees, on passing the series 3. This product is great. It is conducive to learning about futures and someone using this book will have a easy time understanding how to pass the test. If you are interested in other resources to pass the Series 3 don't hesitate to contact me.
